How are you going to spend your tax return and economic stimulus money? Go on a shopping spree for new shoes?! Take a vacation to somewhere far away and exotic?! Buy medical scrubs?! Or the most likely option, pay bills? L Maybe a combination of the above would be the best choice.
Well, my tax return money has already disappeared, but my economic stimulus money is still on the way. I think that I am going to put part of it into my savings account and the other part is going to go toward new clothes for work, which I decided you can never have enough of.
Sometimes when I’m at work and browsing through all our new summer nursing scrubs, my mind wanders and I begin to think about what I would do with my tax return if I was a doctor or nurse. I think I would use at least a portion of it to buy medial scrubs. It is a work related expense after all, so I wouldn’t feel too guilty about it.
For this blog I decided to stop pondering what I would buy and actually make a list of the items that would go in my shopping cart if I needed to buy medical uniforms for work. So here’s my list; it consists of $138 worth of stylish medical scrubs, (I successfully tried to keep it under $150) which would still leave plenty of money left over for bills.
· First, something practical: The Annie Combo Top for $23.99 in Orchid/Violet. This top is an awesome deal because it’s two separate tops for the price of one. I would also get a pair of the Marissa Pants for $24.99 in Violet to go with the top. 
· Second, a pretty print: The Le Dot Drawstring Top for $19.99. My favorite part about this print is how different it is from all the other prints I’ve seen. And it doesn’t hurt that you could pair it with hot pink, pink, chestnut, khaki, buttercup or white pants and still match! I think I’ll be practical and pair mine with the Fashion Flare Pants in khaki for $17.99, that way I’ll have a versatile pair of pants that’ll match almost any top!
· Third, a stylish solid: The Embroidered V-Neck Top for $17.99 in heavenly blue. I picked the heavenly blue because it matches my new khaki pants so nicely.
· And lastly, something to keep me warm because I’m always cold: This Zip Front Hoodie for $33.99. The easy shape that it creates is so cute that I would definitely wear this outside of work as well.
So there it is, my list of what I would buy if my money was going towards apparel scrubs instead of just general apparel.
Now what would you (or did you) spend your money on? Will you purchase something fun, something practical or both? It would make me extremely happy to hear if other people are spending their money on clothes as well. I won’t have to feel guilty if I’m not the only one!
